SharePoint Developers' Tips for better machine performance

Hi Folks,

As a SharePoint developer or any developer who have SharePoint on your development machine, after a while of developing SharePoint sites you will find that your machine is getting slower and slower and your don’t know plus the space is eating without a clear reason.

The fast action I did, I Deleted all created sites which I don’t use or I don’t want to work on them later, I have deleted all sites with their DBs.This a good action and bring back my machine to the regular performance J.

This is not enough, for any future work you have to take care of the following:

1) SharePoint is creating a lot of Logs in the following path :C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\LOGSDelete the old file to gain more space.2) Backup SharePoint DBs to cut down the log files of SharePoint databases or shrink log file size.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/873235
